I just left the McDonald's parking lot. It's on a corner of two main roads. Two lanes of cars just got the green light, so I left a bit quicker then usual trying to beat traffic, and my exhaust was pretty loud when I left. There was an older 87-90 Camaro RS upfront and an older Buick or something next to it. What I didn't know at the time was that a baby blue/powder blue 94+ Integra with altezza's, some multi-spoke white wheels and stock bodykit. He didn't have a fart tip though, must have spent all his cash on that horrendous paint job(don't know what model, but looked like an LS, and that car was filthy. He could have at least washed it.) was behind that Camaro. The Integra slung past the Camaro and was gaining on me fast as I looked in my mirror (I was about 5 car lengths ahead of traffic). He then moved over to the lane next to me.

We both caught a red light a bit further down the road. Well the kid was bumping some crap rap on his system(sounded stock). Well I didn't want to listen to his junk, so I turned my cd player up listening to Godsmack "Moon Baby." The kid moved up a few inches, then pulled ahead one car length infront of the white line. I new he wanted to go.

As we left the light, a cop passed us, so we didn't do anything. We caught the next light. With a clear road ahead, I knew it was on. He inched up a little marking his territory.

The light turned green. I forgot to take my car out of OD. He launched grinding second gear (nasty sound). I launched normally. He slowly tried to pass me, so I floored it. My car bogged because my tranny is slipping a little and it was in OD. Then It happened....

My tranny changed gears, and I flew past him about 1-1/2 car lengths doing 50 in a 35. I tapped the brakes to slow down because a state trooper just passed us. Thankfully he didn't see me or have his radar on. I slowed back down to the speed limit and Mr. Baby Blue Integra flew past me doing at least 50 with a ricer fly-by.

I guess he didn't like it that I pulled on him. He turned up his stock sound system with a used subwoofer and dodged in and out of traffic like a sore loser that he is. But, he actually used his signals while changing lanes!!! That's a first for a ricer, and a first for a driver in Ohio!

My car is pretty much stock except for the straight pipes. :)
